Year 6CW @RF have had a wonderful literature experience reading “Arrival” by Shaun Tan this half term. This is a powerful graphic novel that explores themes of migration, belonging, and cultural identity in a visually stunning way. Using drama as a tool, we delved into the complex themes of the book for engagement and to encourage deeper understanding and empathy.

We focused on the use of different clauses for effect in narrative writing to develop our language skills and literary techniques. Learning how to vary sentence structures greatly enhanced the flow and impact of our writing, allowing us to convey our ideas more effectively.

We have enjoyed reading our published pieces. Keep up the fantastic work year 6!
